Hotel-Style Lodges: Meeting & Banquet Facilities
Our four hotel-style lodges are well-equipped for meetings and receptions for 150 to 600 people. All have restaurants, catering, meeting services and professional event coordinators who can assist with meetings, reunions, banquets, weddings and other gatherings. Lodges in northern Georgia are found at Amicalola Falls and Unicoi state parks, while lodges in southern Georgia feature golf courses and are found at George T. Bagby and Little Ocmulgee state parks. A more luxurious group accommodation is available at Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo Island, a plantation home set among the moss-draped oaks and salt marshes of Sapelo Island. The Island has limited access by ferry only, providing complete privacy. All meals are included. Group reservations can be made by calling the individual lodges.

Group Lodges: Your Own Private Retreat
A group lodge is one large facility with dormitory sleeping quarters for 12 to 50. They have restrooms with hot showers and a kitchen and dining area. Guests provide their own linens. Group lodges are found at Cloudland Canyon, Magnolia Springs, and General Coffee state parks.

Pioneer Camping: Roughing It
Organized groups such as Scouts can pitch tents in these private camping areas found at most state parks. All come with water spigots and pit toilets, and some have covered picnic shelters and grills. These primitive campsites will not accommodate RVs or trailers and do not provide showers.

Group Shelters: Special Event Facilities
Perfect for family reunions, parties and church picnics, enclosed group shelters have tables and chairs for 50 to 250, kitchens, restrooms, heat and air conditioning, and adjacent parking. Many have large barbecue pits. Shelters must be vacated by 9:45 p.m. Cancellations must be made at least 30 days in advance and will be assessed a fee. All vehicles in the group must display a ParkPass.

Picnic Shelters: We’ve Got You Covered
All state parks have covered picnic tables that may be reserved up to 11 months in advance. These open-air shelters include several tables assembled under a single roof and sometimes a barbecue pit or grills. Parking and restrooms are nearby. Shelters must be vacated by 9:45 p.m. All vehicles in the group must display a ParkPass.
